LAKE HAWKINS TOUR VIA HAWKINS
"Pancake Capitol of Texas"
(and hometown of Aunt Jemima!)
This is a wonderful ride to the hometown of Aunt Jemima for pancakes then around scenic Lake Hawkins and back to Tyler. It has no set time or date and occurs several times a year. The time and date is usually discussed on the TBC Forum.
The round trip is about 40 miles with a stop at Jewell's Cafe in Hawkins, "The Pancake Capital of Texas," for breakfast. Some usually ride around Lake Hawkins after breakfast, which adds about 15 more miles. The route from Tyler to Hawkins is scenic with some challenging hills, and the traffic is usually light. It is not a fast ride, but the pace is moderate. The more that go, the more variable the pace can be.
The starting point is usually Super One on N. Beckham and Gentry. The route to Hawkins is on HW 2015, then on HW 14 to Jewell's Cafe. From there, you can take the back way to Lake Hawkins on CR 3419. The distance around the lake is about 10 miles. You can come back to Hawkins the same way or cut out to HW 80 at Lake Hawkins Park. If you don't want to ride your bike to Hawkins, just drive to Hawkins and meet the group for a great breakfast, or take your bike and ride around Lake Hawkins.
